TRIP TO TORONTO. WHAT TO DO...

The thing is that I will be visiting my son who is studying at the University of Toronto next Easter week.

My interests when visiting a new city -apart from blues and rock music shows- are:

1.- Contemporary architecture;

2.- Discovering places and neighborhoods not mentioned on tourist guides;

3.- One day trip to towns around the main city;

4.- Local "cuisine" as there´s an Spanish cuisine. Not meaning "hi-end cuisine" a la Ferrán Adriá. This trend seems to me like 70s progressive music -how to get the more complicated pentatonic scale-. Let´s keep it simple;

5.- Eating on the cheap. I mean affordable prices. Not breaking the bank;

6.- Drinking undiscovered beers and/or unexpected wines

7.- Bookstores (if they still exists); CD stores -if they still exist- and why not -the vice strikes again- audio stores -if they still exist-;

I´m open to your suggestions.

Thank you all.

Daniel

"Toronto eh . Known to us Canuiks as the butt hole of Canada ."

Then why's it the largest city? I'll say that I enjoy Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal better bit it seems like the people living in Toronto enjoy it. What about Niagara Falls? Now there's a hole. The only place worse is the American side. That's the arm pit if the universe.

Please, everyone knows Pittsburgh is the arm pit of the universe. I visited Toronto once and enjoyed the stay. I thought it was nice, clean, safe, with plenty to do. The people were nice and helpful, plus, where else do they have coal black squirrels?

would hate Pittsburgh that much. Pittsburgh has several times been rated the country's most livable city. We have black squirrels here, too.

I haven't been to Toronto in a while... Is Phantom of the Opera still playing?

I'm flying to Toronto in a few weeks to do a turntable setup and alignment for a customer. It has a great diversity of restaurants, friendly people, and good roadways, not to mention a Timmy's on just about every corner and certainly at every exit along the 401. I will also be visiting Kingston and Ottawa. Haven't been to Kingston before, but Ottawa is pretty remarkable.
